Full Description ?
Your tropical journey begins with a convenient pickup from your accommodation, heading to the charming fishing village of Bayahibe.

Upon arriving at Saona Island, you will have several hours of free time to enjoy paradise at your own pace. Whether you want to lounge under a palm tree, take a refreshing dip in the turquoise sea, or join in on a game of beach volleyball, the island is yours to explore. At midday, enjoy a hearty Dominican buffet featuring local specialties like grilled chicken, pork, rice, beans, and fresh fruit. After a day of sun and fun, board a spacious catamaran for a leisurely return trip, complete with music, dancing, and an open bar, making the ride back as memorable as the destination itself.
